Simple Space-Savers You Can Build Yourself

Sometimes
the thing you want most out of your
home
is to have more space within it. But this can often seem like an
impossibility, and it might appear to be the kind of thing a home
either has or does not have. However, this is far from being the
truth. The truth is that there are many things that anyone can do to
improve the amount of space they have, and many of the best solutions
are in fact also the simplest of all. In this post, we are going to
look at some real space-saving things which you can create yourself,
and which will drastically improve the amount of space you have to
work with in your home.

Bookshelves

Every
home needs a good bookshelf, and it’s not just necessarily for
books. The truth is that bookshelves can be used for a huge variety
of things, and if you place it in a room which is starting to get a
little crowded, then it can really make a huge difference to how much
space there is. Fortunately, a bookshelf is also easy enough to put
together, even if your DIY capabilities are not that strong. With
only a few pieces of wood, a couple of glue
dispensersand
some patience, anyone can knock up a relatively effective, cheap but
cheerful bookshelf. This is worth doing if you really want to create
some more space in your home fast.

Under
the bed is one of the best possible locations for saving space, and
it’s one that is routinely overlooked by many people. If your bed
is not designed so that you can store things under there, you
might want to change that.
As it happens, this amounts to a relatively simple DIY project which
most people should be fairly capable of. To begin with, you will need
to build a sturdy bed frame. This can be done easily using either a
pre-packaged wooden set or any other of your choice. Then you just
need to be sure to keep the centre area clear, and have the bed
operate on a hinge at the end. With this simple solution, you can
lift your bed to reveal a fantastic space for storing anything you
like.

Any
home that has an under the stairs area will have a fantastic
opportunity for space-saving.
If you don’t feel that you are currently making good use of this
area, then you can improve that situation in some simple and highly
effective ways. For a start, you can in-build some shelving into the
space itself, something which is both incredibly simple to do and
hugely effective. You can also consider extending this area slightly,
as long as the structure of your house makes it possible. In this
way, you can expect to be able to store much more under there, and
for it to be more accessible as well. This is a great example of how
you can save space with a few simple changes, and it’s worth trying
in your home.
